(Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) As the J6 Committee’s political theater continues, federal prosecutors have been accused of creating or altering evidence to keep Jan. 6 protestors incarcerated for great lengths of time.
Dozens of protestors have been kept in federal prisons without trials, bail, or bond, for over a year now, the Epoch Times reported.
Two federal prosecutors, including attorney Joseph McBride, claimed that not only has the supposed evidence been fabricated or tampered with, but that the government is hiding evidence which could exonerate the incarcerated patriots.
“In terms of attorneys, I’m probably the most outspoken attorney in the United States of America who is representing Jan. 6 defendants,” said McBride, who is representing five or six J6 protestors.
In his view, the federal government has violated the most elementary rights of the protestors.
“You are not allowed to punish a pre-trial detainee in the United States of America because you are innocent until proven guilty” he stated. “It is only after you have been convicted of a crime or plead through a crime that you can be punished for a crime.”
He also noted the horrible treatment that his clients have recieved during their incarceration.
“My clients and others like them have been brutally assaulted. They’ve been locked away in cells for months at a time,” he said.
“They’ve been denied medical care and have had their human rights, their civil rights and their constitutional rights violated by the staff at the D.C. gulag.”
Making matters worse, the Justice Department is proceeding in such a manner as to manipulate public opinion, turning it against the protestors before their trials even get under way via the publication of lengthy affidavits, designed for mainstream media usage.
“They’re frontloading these complaints with facts that aren’t proven and these allegations are subsequently being weaponized in the court of public opinion,” he said.
Of course, as details emerge it becomes increasingly clear that there was some degree of FBI involvement in the protest, which further casts doubt on the events of that day.
